RE: [TortoiseCVS] Diff arbitrary revisions from Revision Graph

[Dominique D. <DDe...@lg...>]

Ah, I see... From your message, I gathered I was not doing it right, so
tried again. This time, it worked! I just didn't expect it to work that way.

This TCVS dialog uses a technique I've never seen before, which I think
violates the principle of least surprise, where one can select one revision
box by clicking, and then the place where you right-click next defines the
second revision to diff against.

Of course, I expected the same behavior as in the History dialog (or nearly
all dialogs I've come across for that matter), where you must control-click
the second revision, as opposed to merely right-clicking it. In the latter
dialog, actually right-clicking an item selects it, deselecting any item(s)
previously selected, as I know come to expect.

I can only hope that this discrepancy between the Graph and History dialogs
can be resolved, and use the usual and least surprising behavior of the
History dialog. I know understand how to use the Graph dialog in the mean
time.

Thanks, --DD
